A great pity as this Luxman gear I now have here on loan is wonderful and the build is incredible. There isn't a company in the UK capable of building such electronics.
    HiFi News review it a lot and + has reviewed Luxman a number of times. I don't read Choice or World so I don't know what they have done.

    Yes, they have but I found it a bit lukewarm. At least they measured the output of the amps and found they all give a lot more than the ratings. The online reviews just blindly quote the published specs, such as 30 wpc for the L-590AXII, when it is actually 125 wpc into 8 ohms.

    The Luxman L-590AXII Class-a amplifier in all it's pristine glory.

    Wonderfully coherent and controlled with a most beautiful treble presentation.

    Weighs the same as a small car.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Sorry for delay but I have just returned from an unexpected 6 day stay in Addenbrookes hospital. Might have been caused by lugging this thing around.

    Thank you Robin and hope you are recovering well.

    It's amazing how you can be fit and well one day and then struck down with something hideous the next.
